Pelosi want Trumps tax returns. What about Nancy’s and her husband Paul? Remember this post?

In 2014, the median net worth of Congresspersons was $456,522. However, Nancy Pelosi ranked among the top 50 wealthiest members of Congress with an estimated a net worth of at least $6.9 million.
She is married to Paul Pelosi.

“There are sources putting his net worth to be over a $100 million while some say Paul Pelosi’s net worth is far more than that. Be that as it may, one thing is very clear and that is the fact that Paul Pelosi is a big-time millionaire.”

Most of Congress either trade on inside information, or funnel taxpayer dollars to companies affiliated with their spouses and family members. Pelosi and her husband should be audited about money and tax breaks that favored her husband and his dealings in American Samoa...

I want to see how many of our ‘public servants’ have made ‘speeches’ in the middle east - legal or now - I want the names and numbers.

Ditto that, but I think we all know how they do it. The “trails” and “layers” of corruption and crime would be interesting to follow. Might very few congresscritters left after that process...

They didn’t have tax returns at the time the constitution was written. Because income tax wasn’t in the constitution when it was originally written.

pelosi should threaten to set her hair on fire if the bill does not pass congress, and then proceed to do so. She should do this for every bill she proposes. We need more entertainment from her...

Even if PDJT were to sign it, such a bill would never pass Constitutional muster. There is no requirement anywhere that says a Presidential Candidate must release a single tax return.

This is nothing more than a political stunt by Piglosi.

I like this. But it won’t even make it through the Senate to be signed by POTUS

Pelosy has no problem making a complete and utter fool of herself.
She is a very well paid clown.
There was a time in America when even Jr high school students would have felt embarrassed at her shameless ignorance on parade.

We have some very serious problems we have to face, like terrorism, like being overrun with illegal criminal invaders, like treating imported serious diseases-—and THIS is what this senile witch does with her time. She should be sued for theft of services. She might as well be completing crossword puzzles and Sudoku pages all day, for all the good she does our nation. Woman has Botox brain—paralyzed.

Another DOA measure in the Senate.

This is about playing to the deranged Rat gallery. Its not serious legislation.

Still waiting for Bill Clinton’s medical records and Barack Obama’s college transcripts. I have had to submit both of these as part of the hiring processes I’ve been through. However, I’ve never had to submit my tax records.
